It's nothing to do with post-colonial anything. The NZRU have a ridiculous sway on the IRB. How do you think NZ got to host the World Cup in the first place? It was obvious before and is more obvious now that they didn't merit hosting a World Cup. New Zealand are bribery merchants and buy whatever decision they like through bribery.

I sometimes wonder if the IRB are trying to destroy Rugby. As with big hits, fights and running rugby, if you now want to see a decent haka you'll have to watch Rugby League. Everything that's good about Rugby the IRB seem to want to do away with.

I agree too with your assessment of Kiwis. I think everyone who starts watching Rugby turns to the All Blacks for good rugby, unfortunately with time the reverse happens, people realise that Kiwis are just dicks and New Zealand as a country and people suck, and slowly withdraw their support from one of the greatest sporting teams in the world.

England are indeed better than Wales. Hell, if you're to be totally on honest for the past 10 years Wales have barely been as good as any of the PI nations. The most over rated team in the world of Rugby, and boring, too.

How can that be considered a challenge to the Haka? They were about 20 meters away! Shame on the IRB for destroying haka confrontations. This isn't even 1% of the France - NZ haka in 2007. Thanks again IRB for ruining another part of the game.

Well it's obvious YOU have a chip on your shoulder, as you're the one bringing up Welsh this and Welsh that. I'm just looking at this as a tackle. You can see from the Warburton tackle that I defended it to the death, going as far as to say it was a penalty at best lol. Go have a look, you'll see.

Palota-Nau MADE an effort to wrap. There is no red card here, not even worthy of penalty. You're looking at this with red tinted glasses, I think.
